Al Azhar strongly condemned the terrorist attack that targeted the national security building in Shubra al Khaima early Thursday, injuring scores of people.

In a statement, Al Azhar said these hideous acts will not weaken Egyptians' will but will increase the strength and rigidity of security personnel.

The highest Sunni authority supports and stands by servicemen in their fight against terrorism aimed at hindering the progress and development march and wishes a speedy recovery to the wounded, the statement asserted.
